Marijuana or Pot

Rapid, loud talking and bursts of laughter in early stages of intoxication

Sleepy in the later stages

Forgetfulness in conversation

Inflammation in whites of eyes; pupils unlikely to be dilated

Odor similar to burnt rope on clothing or breath

Tendency to drive slowly, below the speed limit

Distorted sense of time passage, tendency to over-estimate intervals of time intervals

Use or possession of paraphernalia, such as roach clips, rolling papers, pipes, bongs, etc.

Note: Marijuana users are difficult to recognize unless they are under the influence of the drug at the time of observation. Casual users may show none of the general symptoms. Marijuana does have a distinct odor, and it may be the same color or a bit greener than tobacco.
